Stem cells are blank cells that have the potential to develop into
any type of cell in the body. Scientists are trying to harvest the
cells before they have differentiated, then coax them into becoming
certain types. These cell lines are colonies of embryonic stem
cells of different types. There is a rapid and astonishing progress
in the field of cloning since the making of "Dolly" - the first
cloned sheep, a few years ago. The Stem Cell Research may lead to
cloning a whole human being. During cloning of various organs and
bone marrow transplants, these organs would be an exact genetic
match of the recipient and so there will be no rejection. Every
form of reproductive technology raises the question of human
values, dignity, worth, jurisdictional rights. Cloned embryo may
undergo mutation and can lead to the creation of a monster instead
of a human being. In cloning, the values of love and human
procreation are missing. It violates the principle of equality
among human beings and principle of non-discrimination through
selective eugenic dimension used for specific cloning.
